“Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Arrest Photo Displayed at the Louvre Gallery in Paris” by Melissa Elizabeth, Yahoo!News, February 23, 2026.

Move over, Mona Lisa. There was a new “masterpiece” at the Louvre this week, and it didn’t involve a cryptic smile or centuries-old oil paint. Instead, it featured a very modern, very sweaty, and very stressed-out British royal.

This past Friday, December 5, the Archdiocese of Boston asked St. Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, to remove its nativity scene. The crèche features the shepherds and the Wise Men, but no Holy Family — no Jesus, Mary, or Joseph. In their place is a sign that reads: “ICE WAS HERE.”
